He was somehow attracted to Ashi since she helped him to get out of some unwanted situations, has become an important part of his life. He was thinking of meeting her, just before leaving.<br /><br />Evenings near the sea shores have always been beautiful and this one was also. Ashi was waiting for Rahul, as they have to meet today. Ashi was watching the waves come and go, when they come they bring something with them always but whenever they go back, they take away whatever comes in their way…<br /><br />Suddenly, she felt someone's hand in her hand, and when she turned around, she was surprised. It was Mansi and Rahul was standing away from both of them with a Polaroid camera in his hands.<br />He captured the most candid and beautiful moment of Ashi’s life. And gifted her at the same moment.<br /><br />“I don't know if I could have found these expressions in any gift shop.” said Rahul.<br /><br />Mansi wrote the date and everyone signed the picture.<br /><br />This was the best gift anyone can ever have.<br /><br />Rahul left for the campaign and while leaving everyone came there to see him off. He was happy to have some friends like them and Ashi.<br /><br />Choosing between the work he wanted to do and the work he is going to do, he found his life’s most important parts.</div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/AhaLife/~4/K-KXcVEnb1Y" height="1" width="1" alt=""/>Rashmi Jainhttps://plus.google.com/108633871731180029774noreply@blogger.com0http://aha-life.blogspot.com/2017/07/before-i-turned-21-part-10.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8977971510089103144.post-5853775757243875222017-03-12T22:30:00.000-07:002018-01-31T22:32:51.597-08:00Before I Turned 21 - Part 9<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><i><a href="http://aha-life.blogspot.com/2016/12/before-i-turned-21-part-8.html" target="_blank">Continue Reading From Part 8...</a></i><br /><br />He took over the media, by introducing himself as the new member of his Dad's party. He said to people that officially he is going to join very soon. No more questions were asked and everything went very well. His Dad finally spoke to him.<br /><br />When the car stopped in front of their house they both were standing in front of each other. There was a change, Rahul was now looking at his Dad with the little respect he left behind years ago and his Dad gained in last few days.<br /><br />“You can not be a member simply by announcing like this in public, I am not giving you this opportunity that easily. Get yourself trained, polished and then come to be a member. Go for campaigning, learn to help people, know about the people whose leader you want to be. Make yourself eligible for your goals.”<br /><br />His Dad went inside without waiting for any reply. It was an order.<br /><br />Rahul was thinking about Ashi again. How some people in everyone's life, who creates a very special place in their heart in a very limited time. They don't have to study together for that and not to hang out every day, this is just the way it is.<br /><br />Creating memories without makeup and cameras. To spent a little quality time together is enough.<br /><br />This is what happened with Rahul and Ashi.<br /><br />They didn't meet for a purpose but they have to stay away and connected for a purpose.<br /><br />Rahul knows that if something bothers you about someone; just ask.<br /><br />We don't have to conclude and imagine all the things by ourselves, sometimes talking about our doubts make it easy for us.<br /><br />Important lessons he had learned in just a few days, when for the first time in his life again he talked with his Dad.<br /><br />And things which were falling apart fell in perfect places.<br /><br />Now he had to go for campaigns and to learn all other important lessons which will make him Little different but same as his Dad.<br /><br />To be a successful politician is second choice but to not get involved in such things which made his Dad different than he was and messed up their lives was the first promise he made with himself.</div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/AhaLife/~4/FVRuW_uklmQ" height="1" width="1" alt=""/>Rashmi Jainhttps://plus.google.com/108633871731180029774noreply@blogger.com0http://aha-life.blogspot.com/2017/03/before-i-turned-21-part-9.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8977971510089103144.post-49912340835326428162016-12-31T22:28:00.000-08:002018-01-31T22:29:51.183-08:00Before I turned 21 – Part 8<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><em><a href="http://Continue%20from%20part%207%E2%80%A6%20Read%20Part%207%C2%A0here%E2%80%A6%20%20Truth%20to%20be%20revealed%20on%20right%20time%20else%20it%20should%20be%20buried,%20for%20forever%E2%80%A6..%20If%20there%20is%20a%20little%20bit%20change%20of%20time;%20lives%20are%20destroyed.%20Nobody%20is%20able%20to%20love%20anyone%20completely.%20Something%20like%20that%20happened%20in%20Rahul%E2%80%99s%20life.%20He%20used%20to%20think%20that%20His%20father%20is%20great.%20Anyone%20out%20there%20can%20be%20wrong%20but%20not%20his%20father.%20And%20once%20the%20day%20came%20when%20the%20past%20ruined%20the%20present%20and%20the%20future%E2%80%A6%20maybe%20for%20forever.%20He%20was%20telling%20Ashi%20everything%20about%20what%20had%20happened%20in%20his%20life%20that%20made%20him%20a%20very%20sophisticated%20person%20out%20there.%20Ashi%20was%20thinking%20about%20the%20charactersin%C2%A0the%20novels%C2%A0she%20used%20to%20read,%20and%20realized%20that%20this%20is%20so%20different.%20%20%E2%80%9CRahul,%20in%20books%20there%20is%20a%20perfect%20ending%20to%20every%20problem%20and%20situation.%20In%20real%20life,%20you%20have%20to%20face%20the%20situations%20and%20then%20you%20have%20to%20be%20the%20Hero%20of%20your%20story.%20Today%20you%20have%20to%20take%20a%20step,%20not%20for%20yourself%20but%20for%20those%20who%20believed%20in%20You.%20Things%20happen,%20situations%20make%20people%20do%20things%20in%20most%20unwanted%20ways%20and%20then%20that%20turns%20out%20to%20a%20mess.%20But%20the%20most%20important%20thing%20is%20what%20we%20want.%20To%20clean%20up%20or%20to%20lost.%20I%20think%20you%20like%20the%20cleanliness%20more%20than%20the%20mess.%E2%80%9D%20Again%20the%20breaks%20of%20the%20car%20broke%20the%20silence,%20and%20Rahul%20was%20ready%20to%20clean%20the%20mess%20up.%20He%20wanted%20to%20thank%20Ashi%20for%20such%20surprising%20advice%C2%A0when%20he%20went%20to%20meet%20Manshi%20and%20met%20Ashi%20apparently.%20Sometimes%20in%20life%20strangers%20give%20you%20the%20best.%20Whether%20it%20be%20advice%20or%20memories.%20In%20the%20crowd%20of%20unknown%20and%20known%20people,%20you%20lose%20yourself.%20Rahul%20had%20learned%20a%20lot%20of%20things%20from%20his%20Dad.%20And%20it%20was%20the%20time%20to%20show%20up.%20He%20decided%20to%20talk%20with%20him%20when%20they%20will%20be%20going%20back%20to%20the%20home.%20Gates%20opened,%20Rahul%20and%20his%20Dad%20was%20welcomed%20by%20media%20first%20and%20then%20the%20other%20people.%20It%20was%20the%20first%20time%20when%20the%20Netaji%E2%80%99s%20Son%20was%20also%20with%20him%20so%20everyone%20wanted%20to%20know%20about%20him.%20Rahul%20didn't%20know%20if%20his%20Dad%20had%20any%20idea%20how%20to%20handle%20people%20and%20to%20answer%20their%20questions.%20But%20Rahul%20was%20now%20ready./" target="_blank">Continue Reading From Part 7…</a></em><br /><em><br /></em>Truth to be revealed on right time else it should be buried, for forever…..<br /> If there is a little bit change of time; lives are destroyed. Nobody is able to love anyone completely. Something like that happened in Rahul’s life. He used to think that His father is great. Anyone out there can be wrong but not his father. And once the day came when the past ruined the present and the future… maybe for forever.<br /> He was telling Ashi everything about what had happened in his life that made him a very sophisticated person out there.<br /><br /> Ashi was thinking about the charactersin&nbsp;the novels&nbsp;she used to read, and realized that this is so different.<br /><br />“Rahul, in books there is a perfect ending to every problem and situation. In real life, you have to face the situations and then you have to be the Hero of your story. Today you have to take a step, not for yourself but for those who believed in You. Things happen, situations make people do things in most unwanted ways and then that turns out to a mess.<br /> But the most important thing is what we want. To clean up or to lost. I think you like the cleanliness more than the mess.”<br /><br /> Again the breaks of the car broke the silence, and Rahul was ready to clean the mess up.<br /> He wanted to thank Ashi for such surprising advice&nbsp;when he went to meet Manshi and met Ashi apparently.<br /><br /> Sometimes in life strangers give you the best. Whether it be advice or memories.<br /> In the crowd of unknown and known people, you lose yourself. Rahul had learned a lot of things from his Dad. And it was the time to show up. He decided to talk with him when they will be going back to the home.<br /><br /> Gates opened, Rahul and his Dad was welcomed by media first and then the other people. It was the first time when the Netaji’s Son was also with him so everyone wanted to know about him.<br /> Rahul didn't know if his Dad had any idea how to handle people and to answer their questions. But Rahul was now ready.</div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/AhaLife/~4/5h1uF8Apevw" height="1" width="1" alt=""/>Rashmi Jainhttps://plus.google.com/108633871731180029774noreply@blogger.com0http://aha-life.blogspot.com/2016/12/before-i-turned-21-part-8.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8977971510089103144.post-57584849114707990572016-07-10T22:26:00.000-07:002018-01-31T22:27:51.831-08:00Before I turned 21 – Part 7<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><i><a href="http://aha-life.blogspot.com/2016/06/before-i-turned-21-part-6.html" target="_blank">Continue Reading From Part 6...</a></i><br /><br />"Dad"<br />"Yes"<br />"Can I have your dinner time today? I want to talk to you."<br />Without looking up and continues checking the file and said "See, I have......"<br />"It is urgent Dad."<br />"You can join me; see you at 8 pm."<br />"Thanks."<br />Rahul left the room and headed to that street, when he reached there he found that Manshi was sitting at the double stone type arrangements in front of her house where she used to be.<br />"Hey"<br />"So, what is going on Mr?"<br />"How are you?"<br />"Good."<br />"Okay."<br />He sat by her and both were looking in the empty sky.<br />"I am going to tell my Dad that I am going to join......."<br />"Join what??"<br />"I am going to join his party and I am asking his permission for that today."<br />"Okay, but do not be like him all the time; be as you want to be."<br />"I was thinking so.."<br />"That if you would be like him, or will succeed in what you are thinking of? "<br />"You got me."<br />She looked at him and he smiled in his usual way.<br />"Okay, gotta go."<br />"See you."<br />And Rahul left the place. Manshi also went to her home thinking of his decision.<br />At 8 pm he got ready and as he gotta know that they are going out for dinner he doesn't want to be late. And therefore he waited for his Dad in the hall.<br />He was looking at his childhood picture in which he was with his Dad and it was a family function where the photo was taken. The common thing between his Dad and him was this photo. They both liked this and but do not like the persons in it together.<br />The horn buzzed outside and it was exactly 8 pm. Rahul put the photo aside and moved towards the gate.<br /><br /><br /><i>To be continued.. :)</i></div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/AhaLife/~4/RYEfED9tiCs" height="1" width="1" alt=""/>Rashmi Jainhttps://plus.google.com/108633871731180029774noreply@blogger.com0http://aha-life.blogspot.com/2016/07/before-i-turned-21-part-7.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8977971510089103144.post-74571234957482174402016-06-04T22:24:00.000-07:002018-01-31T22:25:23.329-08:00Before I turned 21 - Part 6<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><i><a href="http://aha-life.blogspot.com/2016/05/before-i-turned-21-part-5.html" target="_blank">Continue Reading&nbsp;From Part 5...</a></i><br /><br />Mumbai is a nice place only if you have a better place to live and a job so that you can survive. Ashi moved here a few months ago, and now she knows everything about this place. From the gate of her apartment, to Nimisha's. From the garden and the people in front of her house. She knows everyone and still was not familiar with anyone of them. The one and only friend she has from her childhood is Nimmi.<br /><br />Ashi was waiting for the call from the institute where she appeared for an interview for admission. And till then she decided to join a job and was looking for one. In the very morning, she was thinking of joining the job offered by uncle Shravan, who is the Head of Department in her dad's office.<br /><br />Raining is normal in Mumbai. She was walking towards the address of the office holding a little umbrella for herself. As she reached the office, she was welcomed by the guards and they directed her towards the reception. She reported there and waited for her call. She took a seat and silently looking at the walls having fine paintings. Soon her name was announced and she raised from her seat and went inside as the receptionist asked her to.<br /><br />"Go right, straight and again take a right and there you are." the receptionist said.<br />"Good morning sir." she said.<br />"Very good Morning." said the man, very well dressed and with a warm smile.<br />"Have a seat." the man said again.<br />"Thank you sir." said Ashi and took the seat.<br />"Ashi, we have known you..."<br />"Because of my Daddy." Ashi spoke in between.<br />"Yeah, he is right the way you are, very quick in answering. Anyway, this job is all about the fieldwork. We got only a few applications for the same, and you are the first to approach." the man said further.<br />"There you go. You can join from tomorrow and the rest of the work will be explained by your Boss." Mr. Shravan continued.<br /><br />"Another boss and fieldwork?" said Ashi.<br /><br />Mr Shravan stood up from his seat and said "Ashi, you will find your boss right here tomorrow in the morning. Further details you can get from Mr Nayan here." and he left the office.<br />Ashi was still in shock, what was happening. She had a talk with Mr Nayan about her new job's details. After half an hour she left the office and was waiting for auto outside the office to get back to home.<br /><br /><br /><i>To be continued.. :)</i></div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/AhaLife/~4/qNtjWl4crQ8" height="1" width="1" alt=""/>Rashmi Jainhttps://plus.google.com/108633871731180029774noreply@blogger.com0http://aha-life.blogspot.com/2016/06/before-i-turned-21-part-6.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8977971510089103144.post-77399086444060456192016-05-11T22:22:00.000-07:002018-01-31T22:23:22.518-08:00Before I turned 21 – Part 5<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><i><a href="http://aha-life.blogspot.com/2016/04/before-i-turned-21-part-4.html" target="_blank">Continue Reading From part 4...</a></i><br /><br />Rahul did nothing great. He just gave a pair of frocks to that girl. When Manshi reached home, her mummy scolded her for the things she took home. But when she learnt the lines said by Rahul to Manshi, she looked at her and realized that it wasn't a big deal.<br />After that day, Manshi is always in a very clean dress and a pretty girl with no more dirty face and clumsy hairs.<br /><br />That one incident became the reason for Manshi’s parents to change their lifestyle a little more. When they saw their girl in clean dress and with a happy face, they realized they can do more than that. They started keeping themselves and their homes cleaner than before.<br />So, when Rahul next visited there, Manshi took him to her father. He is a worker in an oil paint factory. He showed them that he brought the colour which was used in last project and now it can be used for their home. Rahul never thought of such single idea that can change many lives.<br />When Ashi heard about this, suddenly words came out from her mind to the tongue and stated like this “You should be a Political Leader, this will help you a lot.”<br /><br />Sitting at the stairs and thinking of Ashi, Manshi and about his Dad.<br /><br />Rahul never thought that he would meet with such persons in his life. He had everything a boy need till he turns 21, except such experience he was having in last few months. A boy with handsome look and good character, he never suffered for anything like Manshi.<br />He belongs to a very good, rich, royal political family and, Ashi was not knowing that. But unknowingly she said that he should become a Politician. Rahul’s dad is an MLA. What's new if he joined the campaign and it will be easy for him to take charge over the things.<br />But, something stuck in his mind ever that, what if he would not be able to help people after joining the party? What if things will become complicated, and he will be selfish? What if he can't be what he thinks of being? What if he will also be corrupted like his Dad?<br />Thousands of ifs and buts. He afraid of nothing but losing his own idealism. His dad was his inspiration. Manshi became important to him from the day he met her and Ashi. There was something he never thought of. The day they met, she became special for him. He imagined of such girl and he found her.<br /><br /><br /><i>To be continued... :)</i></div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/AhaLife/~4/ZAcvFK5xwU8" height="1" width="1" alt=""/>Rashmi Jainhttps://plus.google.com/108633871731180029774noreply@blogger.com0http://aha-life.blogspot.com/2016/05/before-i-turned-21-part-5.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8977971510089103144.post-24828082664578599132016-04-24T22:17:00.000-07:002018-01-31T22:21:28.691-08:00Before I turned 21 – Part 4<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><i><a href="http://aha-life.blogspot.com/2016/03/before-i-turned-21-part-3.html" target="_blank">Continue Reading From Part 3...</a></i><br /><br />“A woman's heart is a deep ocean of secrets.”<br />Do you remember this line from the movie ‘<b>TITANIC</b>’?” Asked Rahul in a cunning way of expression.<br />“Yes,I do.” said Ashi.<br />A flower girl was coming towards them. Rahul smiled and waved at her. She came to them, offered one white rose. Rahul took the flower.<br />"Hi Manshi, Meet our new friend Ashi". Rashul asked the flower girl.<br />Manshi took another white Rose from her basket and gave that to Ashi.<br />"Hello Ashi!" she said.<br />"Hi" Ashi smiled.<br />"Rahul, your friend is so Beautiful han" said Manshi to Rahul and winked.<br />"And you too look so amazing in this dress" Ashi replied instead of Rahul and they all burst into a laughter.<br />"Hmm" said Manshi.<br />"Okay, see you later guys, have to go." and Manshi went away.<br />"You know very well her?" Ashi asked Rahul.<br />“Yep! She is the&nbsp; first whom I met here and..”<br />“.....Now, I am also first to met someone here!” said Ashi completing his line.<br />“No, not at all. She is the second. I am the first.” Rahul replied quickly.<br />“Oh, okay”. Ashi said.<br />“So, you are coming here since….?” Ashi asked Rahul.<br />“Last February” Rahul replied.<br />“When in February I visited here Manshi didn't have another pair of dress and she was looking very dirty but pretty girl, and I talked with her and I gotta know that she worked as Flower girl and studies in the school here running by a trust.<br />The next day I bought her a pair of Dresses and one of them she was in now.” explained Rahul the whole story.<br />“That's why you guys laughed out loud?” Ashi asked.<br />“Umm, Yes :D” replied Rahul.<br />“I think we should go home now.” And Ashi was moving back, just then Rahul stopped her and told her that they can reach home by heading ahead and not moving back.<br />“It's really nice to meet you Ashi” Rahul said and avoided an eye contact with her.<br />"I think, it's nice to meet you too.” Ashi said.<br /><br /><br /><i>To be continued.... :)</i></div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/AhaLife/~4/0HUsDmtxIqo" height="1" width="1" alt=""/>Rashmi Jainhttps://plus.google.com/108633871731180029774noreply@blogger.com0http://aha-life.blogspot.com/2016/04/before-i-turned-21-part-4.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8977971510089103144.post-73476768602769774012016-03-25T22:14:00.000-07:002018-01-31T22:16:13.709-08:00Before I turned 21 – Part 3<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><i><a href="http://aha-life.blogspot.com/2016/03/before-i-turned-21-part-2.html" target="_blank">Continue Reading From Part 2...</a></i><br /><br />“Excuse me” - Rahul said.<br /><br />“Han, oh sorry, I am sorry” - she came back from flash back.<br /><br />“Hey, it’s okay” - said Rahul.<br /><br />“So, you didn’t tell me your name, ah sorry, GOOD NAME” – Rahul said.<br /><br />She looked at him, smiled and said - “Ashi, my GOOOD NAME is Ashi”.<br /><br />“Really a very Good name” said Rahul with a satisfactory expressions.<br /><br />“Well, Ashi what was the twist in your novel?” – He asked.<br /><br />“Umm, okay, I’ll tell you about that, first let me know that how did you know that there was a twist?” - said Ashi.<br /><br />“Your expressions you hide behind your specks and silence, but your spoke out and told me that you were about to kill me for disturbing and your smile and excitement which was on your face while you were totally popped into the book, suddenly disappeared and a fake smile spread out on your face.” – Rahul replied.<br /><br />“Oh, hmm. Observation was good and explanation too.” - said Ashi.<br /><br />Rahul asked her for a walk in the streets, and spend some time together, because there were two reasons for that. First, they both were out of group and second, there was too much noise of buddies who were enjoying in front of them and totally forget about both of them.<br /><br />So they decided to go for a walk and yes, Ashi agreed with Rahul, because he was right at point and she had already read the book, that’s why she got angry for disturbing because that was the favorite part of the story.<br /><br />Anyway, they both took a way to the street right in front of the home.<br /><br />This was the only street she never visited before, but Rahul has visited a thousand times and he also told her not to go that way because this area was not so developed and low class area.<br /><br />And then she told him, “That is the only reason for visiting, because that is the low class area”.<br /><br />And Rahul once looked at her face steadily and then smiled.<br /><br />They both were walking now towards the street.<br /><br /><br /><i>To be continued.. :)&nbsp;</i></div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/AhaLife/~4/x0cMp7XxQ9I" height="1" width="1" alt=""/>Rashmi Jainhttps://plus.google.com/108633871731180029774noreply@blogger.com0http://aha-life.blogspot.com/2016/03/before-i-turned-21-part-3.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8977971510089103144.post-4231737322583044152016-03-21T22:05:00.000-07:002018-01-31T22:13:54.473-08:00Before I turned 21 – Part 2<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><i><a href="http://aha-life.blogspot.com/2016/03/before-i-turned-21-part-1.html">Continue Reading From Part 1...</a></i><br /><br />Last Sunday, she was at her cousin’s home. Her uncle and aunt were not at home, so her cousin planned to call all her friends at her home for a reunion as her graduation was completed. ‘<b>Pajama Party</b>’ in short.<br /><br />So after her uncle and aunty went, Ashi took a very good and suspense thriller novel and, sat on the sofa on which two person can easily sit and can read books.<br /><br />After 12 pm all the friends of Nimisha (Ashi’s cousin) came.<br /><br />They were total 7 members and, as Nimmy (Nimisha) told them about her parents, so they came with lunch packed from hotel.<br /><br />They all sat in front of Ashi. The hall has arranged in a style that one sofa is alone situated in corner and the all other were in front of that one with enough distance. In drawing room, they all were talking about their old college days, the fun they had and the stories of their teachers and classroom gossips, friends, their affaires and crushes. The only thing they were not talking about was Study. They all were laughing out loud, talking and mimicking their teachers and fellows, and having cold coffee with one of their favorite snacks.<br /><br />Their mouths were full, but they were still talking and taking selfies in different poses and pouts.<br /><br />This was a Pajama party, but still all girls was in full makeup, and one pieces and were looking damn hot and beautiful.<br /><br />“Coffee” said one of Nimmy’s friend.<br /><br />Ashi looked up through her black framed spectacles with surprise and little anger in her eyes like she was about to shout on the person for disturbing her, because there was a big twist in the story and that was about to short out all the mess&nbsp; created by author in the story. But she suddenly stopped and, she even couldn’t speak a single word, she just nodded her head in yes. The boy who came up with coffee started to talk with her and handed her the black mug full of coffee.<br /><br />“So, what was the twist in your story?” - The boys asked.<br /><br />She was surprised. How did he know that there was a twist in the story!!<br /><br />“Yah…. Well, what is your good name?” - Ashi asked.<br /><br />“Rahul”- He replied.<br /><br />“Ji?” – Ashi asked again.<br /><br />“Ji Rahul, My name is Rahul.” – He replied.<br /><br />"Oh sorry, really good name.” – Ashi said.<br /><br />“Yup, it is.” – He said.<br /><br />Suddenly a thought came into her mind. “Sensations are good…”<br /><br />She suddenly remembered her own college days, fun, friends, studies and yes, <b>Crush</b>.<br /><br />She just smiled and again continued thinking about her own college days. Those were awesome days. Among her friends, she was famous as Careless, Straight Forward and, Innocent girl, everybody liked her and was quite happy days.<br /><br />She had a big number of friends, but she never had any best friend. She was a totally moody bookworm type girl. She never cared for what world think about her and, she never does care anyone except her mom.<br /><br />Because there was a mess created in her life when she was in hostel for 3 years of college. But her friends made that very special.<br /><br />She had done everything what a youngster should do before she/he turns 21. Yup! A great life with no regrets and only memories. She had done what she wanted to do till she completed her high school.<br /><br />Study is the most important part of her life, so she decided to become a Doctor. Because she had learnt that this is the only occupation in this world, that let people to serve people, whether they want to do or not. They do it because this is what their job requires…SERVICE.<br /><br />Well, this gives a great satisfaction because there is nothing can make you happy except of making people smile, relieving them from pain, and yes! SAVING LIVES.<br /><br /><br /><i>To be continued.. :)&nbsp;</i></div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/AhaLife/~4/yZMFr2R3rKM" height="1" width="1" alt=""/>Rashmi Jainhttps://plus.google.com/108633871731180029774noreply@blogger.com0http://aha-life.blogspot.com/2016/03/before-i-turned-21-part-2.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8977971510089103144.post-19292940216983349842016-03-20T22:03:00.000-07:002018-01-31T22:05:11.720-08:00Before I turned 21 - Part 1<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">When the whole world was busy in surviving, she was busy in dreaming, the only work she has left to do was to dream and, to talk with herself.<br /><br />She was a totally different girl or even we can say that she was totally a different human being among all the people on the Earth. Sometime she even feel like she is not at right place, but she is.<br /><br />“Ashi”..her mom was calling.<br /><br />“Coming”… and she got up and staired down.<br /><br />“Yes mom” she said.<br /><br />“Where were you?” Asked her mom.<br /><br />“Oh, I was upstairs …”<br /><br />“What you were doing upstairs alone? Anyway, look, here are some dresses, do you want any?<br /><br />Her Mom was looking into her eyes. She was standing beside the chair and was not paying any attention on whatever her mom was saying! Ashi was present there physically, but her mind was not there.<br /><br />“Ashi?” her Mom called.<br /><br />“Are you okay?” asked her Mom second time.<br /><br />“Oh yeah. Mm m okay.” Said Ashi and she started looking the dresses, not bad but not so good. She thought for a while and, replied to her mom that she doesn’t want anything right now. And coming back at the point where she was, thinking of that person who predicted something strange, but true about her.<br /><br />To be continued.. :)</div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/AhaLife/~4/Kqwk3FZXkuk" height="1" width="1" alt=""/>Rashmi Jainhttps://plus.google.com/108633871731180029774noreply@blogger.com0http://aha-life.blogspot.com/2016/03/before-i-turned-21-part-1.html
